Sculpture on the Gulf

My artworks, defamiliarise the architectural reference in direct physical relation to the urban or organic environment. A viewer who encounters my public works, for example, can approach or circumnavigate them from many directions on their own terms. The view is not singular; there is not a set perspective engineering a specific response.

2022, Brise Soleil
Sculpture in the Gardens
Brise Soleil, powder-coated aluminium 2.9m x 3 pieces
Brise Soleil (after Jane Drew) is based on a fragment of Jane Drew’s facade for a school in Chandigarh, India. Here the medium is powder-coated aluminium. I wanted the sculpture to refocus the intent of a brise soleil, which is designed to control sun and breeze. The idea of a free standing outdoor brise soleil nullifies that purpose and makes the object nonsensical, moving the object from its architectural anterior, to a new sculptural form.

2020, The Pool
Ōtautahi
-Christchurch
The Pool contains an absurdist element, it is not close enough to water for diving, and it is constructed without stairs. The ambiguity of having a defunct diving board marooned in a city park is a prompt to consider the site and the city's brutalist architecture, known simply as ‘The Cristchurch Style,’ which became a defining feature of Ōtautahi-Christchurch in the 1950s.
